Enjoy a peaceful escape on the water with our Samaná Bay Morning or Afternoon Kayak Adventure, thoughtfully designed for travelers arriving by cruise ship or Samaná Bayport.
This small-group kayaking experience takes place during the calmest and most scenic hours of the day, offering the perfect blend of light adventure and natural beauty just minutes from your ship. Paddle from Playita Cayacoa across the calm turquoise waters of Samaná Bay toward the iconic Samaná Bridges (Los Puentes de Samaná) and the picturesque Cayo Vigía Island.
Choose the morning tour for soft sunlight and tranquil conditions, or the afternoon tour for warm golden tones and stunning coastal views. Either option provides a relaxing and memorable way to experience Samaná from the water—without long travel times or crowds.
Samaná Bay is one of the Dominican Republic’s most beautiful coastal landscapes. Known for its calm waters, tropical islets, and scenic pedestrian bridges, the bay offers an ideal environment for kayaking at all experience levels.
The famous Samaná Bridges connect the mainland to Cayo Vigía and Cayo Linares, creating postcard-worthy views of the city, coastline, and surrounding green hills. Morning light brings clarity and sparkle to the water, while afternoon light adds a warm, tranquil glow—making both departures equally special.
